INTRODUCTION

This course focusses on the interpretation of panel-data estimates and the assumptions underlying the models. The concepts presented are reinforced with practical exercises at the end of each session.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the end of this course the participants will be able to:

• Analyse linear, nonlinear, and dynamic panel data estimators using STATA
• Implement linear, nonlinear, and dynamic panel data estimators using STATA

DURATION
